To access a email account created with cPanel you have two different options.

1.) You can access it through cPanel; or
2.) Directly via a web address.

1a.) To access your webmail accounts through cPanel you must first go to cpanel.yourdomainname.com (Note: Be sure to replace “yourdomainname.com” with your correct domain name and extension.)

1b.) A login window will pop-up. Enter your cPanel credentials.

1c.) Next look in the right hand side of the cPanel window for a box that looks like the screenshot below. Click on “Webmail“.

1d.) Then click on the “Secure Webmail Login” icon. It should look like the one pictured below.

1e.) This should bring up another window that will require you to enter your username and password. Your username will be your full email, (i.e. webmaster@eternalphoenixworld.com), and your password will be the one you entered when setting up the email address.

(Note: The following method is easier and more direct.)

2a.) In your web browser navigate to webmail.yourdomainname.com (Remember to replace “yourdomainname.com” with your domain name and extension.

2b.) Enter your full email address for the username and your password for that email address and you should be good to go!

This tutorial will show you how to add an email address to your cPanel web hosting account.

1.) Log in to your cPanel Hosting account. To access cPanel you should navigate to either http://cpanel.mywebsite.com or http://mywebsite.com:2082 (Note: You will need to replace “mywebsite.com” with your domain name and extension, this is normally .com)

2.) Once logged in, look on the right hand side for a box similar to the one below. Click on Email Accounts.

3.) Here is where you will add your email address. type the username you want into the box next to the word “Email,” either type a password and confirm it or click on the generate password to have a random one made, and set the quota to your desired limit. The default of 250mb in my opinion is more than enough for a regular email address. Once completed it should look similar to the screen shot below.

4.) Click create and it will be added to the list of email addresses below.

(Note: If you look to the right of an email address in the list you will see four icons. Delete account (its pretty obvious what that does), Change quota (this will let you change how much space the mail box is allotted), Change Password (also obvious and equally useful), and Configure Mail Client which will show how to configure Microsoft Outlook and other mail clients. The icons are shown below.
